How the Hubble Space Telescope found a planet outside of our solar system and took a photo of it.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered an extrasolar planet, for the first time using direct visible-light imaging. The strange world is far-flung from its parent star, is surrounded by a colossal belt of gas and dust, and may even have rings more impressive than Saturn's. Credit:ESA/Hubble (M. Kornmesser & L. L. Christensen)
